where much of our current spam is coming from? I'm not going to advertise it, but take note and reset your spam filters to "cool" down. My filters must be pretty well set. I'm seeing almost no spam at all. -- Wayne Boatwright (to e-mail me direct, replace cox dot net with gmail dot com) __________________________________________________ ____________ The death of God left the angels in a strange position. |

I'm amazed at how annoyed people get by it. Some groups have a higher signal-to-noise ratio than others. -- Sarah Gray |

It's just interesting to see that the spammers I'm "not reading"/deleting at the moment are from there and Gmail isn't the address dujour at this point - that's all. IOW, they are flummoxed. -- See return address to reply by email remove the smiley face first |

Now maybe more people will wake up. I don't need to kill every single google poster just because there are a few bad apples and I certainly don't need to kill by domain. I can just right click and kill by author or subject. End of story. It tickles me that it takes them longer to morph than it takes me to kill them. -- See return address to reply by email remove the smiley face first |

End of story. It tickles me that it takes them longer to morph than it takes me to kill them. Fortunately, I do not get many spams. Still, I have a difficult enough time reading the rest of the posts. I am busy most weekends, so it takes me the rest of the week, just to get caught up on the group. I begin reading the group alphabetically, but if I can not catch up, I will have to delete the rest of the messages. This is a busy group, which is a good thing. I am just slow. ![]() Becca |

The nice thing about using google (occasionally) is that when a poster has replied to one of your killfiled persons and that unkillfiled person includes only a snippet of what that killfiled person said, if you think it would be interesting, you can read what's said (and reply if you so desire.)

Google can be good for something. It just hasn't been reliable lately. When I notice I'm missing someone, most recently Boron, I haven't been able to find recent posts on google. nancy |

There is a lot of legitimate traffic to and from China. Also, there is the big question of who is "the government"? If we cut off access between China and Germany, maybe it will just go through France? |
